We’re a little behind on monthly updates, but it’s a sign of how busy things have been both in the garden and beyond.

Tom dug up a Yucatecan recipe for “ensalada de rabanitos” to give the kitchen reason to harvest the bounty of radishes we seeded in Feb.   They also harvested the first round of broccoli, off starter plants installed a month ago.

Two months later, the carrot seeds are finally starting to resemble carrots, as evident during the infanticide we dealt out when thinning a couple weeks ago.  Spinach seeds are now spinach.  Chard continues to be strong, from planting way last year. 

We picked up some Hoja Santa to take over the Fonda landscape, and planted the first round of cherry toms and squash.  Next is cucumbers.  One of the few beds with less-than-good soil will get 2 flats of native gayfeather this month, for a great source of cut flowers this fall. 

And thanks to the legacy of Scott, the garden is now busting! with bluebonnets and other color, which my camera just can’t do justice for:

So come out and see it for yourself, and bring your favorite weeding tool.  Anytime.
